Book Description
A collection of papers is presented which ha * s the purpose of providing an introductory survey of properties involved in the choice and use of ceramic materials in nuclear technology.Topics include:Radiation fields present in nuclear reactors and the features of these fields most important to the development of nuclear materials; Principle physical effects induced in materials by reactor radiation; Solid state effects of radiation damage processes, with examples drawn partially from ceramics; Physical properties of irradiated ceramic materials; Thermodynamics of nonstoichiometry and its applications to nuclear fuels; Problems encountered in the development of nuclear fuels, reactor moderators, and structural materials.
